DISCHARGE “First London Gig, Live At The Music Machine 1980” LP (color)

Formed in Stoke on Trent in 1977, northern band Discharge changed the British punk scene forever with a distinctive brand of hardcore, making minimalistic music with heavily distorted guitar, drone-like bass, shouted anarchic vocals and a style of propulsive drumming, known as D Beat. This new edition of the legendary London debut, unleashed at Camden’s Music Machine in October 1980, is a blistering set that captures our heroes at their freshest, the audience response so great that they revisit ‘Realities Of War,’ ‘Fight Back,’ ‘Tomorrow Belongs To Us’ and ‘They Declare It’ for the full-throttle encore. Essential Dischage!
